Great views, but not so great otherwise 8/5/2005

The location of this place cannot be beat in Santa Monica - it's on the corner right before the Santa Monica Pier. Sunsets here are the best. This is the place you want to take your out of town guests to impress them. The food is fine, but VERY expensive. The lobster isn't even that good and it's pricey. The service is merely okay. The drinks are great, with a good wine list to boot. So go for the drinks and the sunset, enjoy the company you are with and you won't be disappointed. more

Owner Message

  • Rich in history, "The Lobster" stands as a tribute to the family that built its reputation. Established as a Lobster Shack in 1923, the remaining original structure within the foundation and walls of the main entrance and footprint still stand at the corner of Ocean Avenue and the Pier. "Established in 1923", recessed in the corner stone, greets guests in the spirit and heritage that only belongs to "The Lobster".

    The menu is classic American seafood featuring whole live Maine lobsters. Guests can sit at any seat in the restaurant or bar area and enjoy 180 degree views of the spectacular Pacific Ocean, accented by it's breathtaking sunsets, even celebrate the sea spun sunset phenomena called the 'Green Flash'. The terrace provides fresh coastal air for those who love to dine outdoors.
